Horsin’ Around

Today, we went up to Tryon, North Carolina to Lily’s friend Ana’s house for a pony ride!  Lily has been so excited this week about going, and our hosts didn’t disappoint.  Lily didn’t hesitate to brush the pony and feed the horse apples and carrots, while she waited for the time to ride a pony.

Ms. Jasmin recognized Lily’s eagerness, and Lily was second to ride.  She didn’t hesitate for a second!

After everyone had gotten a chance to ride, Jasmin (Ana’s mom) had the horses do some jumping, interspersed with some playful galloping by the horses. Lily was enthralled.

On the way home, we discussed how Ms. Jasmin used to ride the horses when they jumped and galloped, and Lily said that maybe she could take lessons and learn to do that.  She had so much fun!
